cracked apps don't lead to this..
"Connection timed out" means a network error- either internet connectivity is not proper or slow!
are u on 2g?
Most probable case is low internet speed!!

I use wifi... My browser works just fine but not g play

google play store/google play services overheats my phone, how do I fix this?

Ok with play services, and the play store running my nexus 4 hits 116 degrees Fahrenheit. I uninstalled play services, and installed a play services blocker so it couldn't be force loaded onto my phone. But I still had the Problem cuz the play store tries to re-install it in the background. So if I freeze the play store, everything is fine. Is there a different way to go about this so I don't have to freeze anything, and have to unfreeze the play store everytime I want to use it? Such as through the terminal, etc? Thanks.

Go to option the setting and apps manager. Highlight to the playstore and try uninstal updates. But before, make sure the clear data and clear cache button is appearing. Click them first before uninstalling update
Same how to the google service.
Reeboot
Might it help..
If no change. Maybe i will give you an egg and cook on that heat.

There is no change, I've already tries that. I used lucky patcher to keep google play from updating past 3.10.

No any option. Except you flash to custom rom and get new fresh gapps (playstore included)

Location services
Disallow Google from tracking your location and turn off GPS when you don't need it.
I've found that when google location services were running, any time I opened a google app it would get hot, as it was activating the GPS on my tablet.

So what do you think would work better, using the privacy guard feature for all the GApps, or I could use lucky patcher and disable all the location permissions?
I know lucky patcher is warez, but I'm not using it for bad intentions.

Not familiar with lucky patcher. I just turned off sync with all google apps except G+ and Gmail, and unchecked the option to allow it to track my location in the account settings. Then I turned off GPS. I have limited use for GPS, so only keep it on when I need to use it.

Lucky patcher is an app that is considered a "ware" on XDA because of some of some of the things it can do. But it installs a modified play store of any version that does not auto update itself in the background, I use play store 3.10. Every google app on my phone is frozen. And it's still overheating when I unfreeze the play store, because it's trying time re install google play services. I have a google services blocker app that had the same signature as the real google play services. So when I unfreeze the play store, it repeatedly tries to install the real one, but can't, which causes it to over heat. I'd like to know if there is a way to stop this??

Same here. Got it yesterday
One of the good thing about having installed XPrivacy is that it notifies me about every single update - even the silent ones like play services that update in the background

I have 4.2.39 as well... Figures .42 will come eventually

What's so great about the updated service? Never really worried much about it.

4.2.42 Brings back the nasty Location Services Wakelocks that was present prior to 4.1x play services.

I ended up downloading the Play Services update manually to use Allcast, but I'm not having any luck with it. I can get it to cast, but streaming video stops to buffer every few seconds from start to finish, making it unusable. I've only tried videos I've taken with the Nexus 5 itself so far. Anyone else experiencing this?

YES i noticed this same issue. My phone has been sleeping like a baby for so long, and yesterday it started draining every couple min with that location wakelock under Google Play Services.

The same here with v4.2.42. On all my devices Play Services are shown under Settings - Location Service and tell me that a little battery has been used. The devices are set to "Device only" (just GPS) and all the usual crap has been disabled (Search with Now, Google+, Hangouts, ...). I'm wondering what else needs my location. I do not want to disable also GPS to stop this.

I also have this version v4.2.42 but only save mode in Location settings and I don't see Google Play Services in the list of battery consumption for the moment.

Try wiping. Data for play store I've had a few problems with the play store and if that doesn't work backup your photos and all the important stuffs and do a factory reset

Tried wiping and tried deleting google account and reboot. Both didn't work for me. I'll just backup and do a factory reset.

Play store apps "not compatible"

Came across 2 apps today that I get "your device isn't compatible with this version" messages. These are 2 apps I use on my axon 7 with Android 7.0 so I know they work with nougat. I've tried deleting the cache and data for the play store and Google services but still the same. Anyone have this issue or any ideas on how to stop it? Also can anyone else check the "apple music" app and see if they can install it?

Some apps just won't be compatible until the developer(s) make the app compatible specifically for the Mate 9. However, I was able to download the Apple Music app.

Well that's interesting. I'm running the us version of the phone fully stock so what would be preventing me from installing it? My play store version is 7.5.08.M-all Phone software MHA-L29567B138
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk

Are these 2 apps on Play Store the same versions of those you used on your axon 7 with Android 7.0?
As I know, some apps will not work with Android 7.0 until their developers have distributed the latest versions and have made them compatible with nougat.

Yes, in fact I just uninstalled them on my axon 7 and reinstalled them to verify them

Decided to reset the phone this morning and see if that fixed it. Before any updates took I was able to install the 2 apps showing as incompatible, however after about 10 minutes they went back to "your device isn't compatible with this version". I uninstalled the updates to the Google Play Store as well as Google Play Services and they still said "your device isn't compatible with this version" even though I checked the Play store build number and it was the same before the update and after uninstalling the update. Some update somewhere is causing a compatibility issue and I'm not sure what it is. I may have to reset the device again and not update any of the built in apps like Gmail, Youtube, etc. and hopefully catch whats causing it.
Edit: Reset again and everything was fine. Google play store was on version 7.4.12.L.all [0] [pr] 144479971 and remained there. Installed one of the apps I was having trouble with then updated system apps one at a time. After each system app I checked the other incompatible app and everything was good. Then after updating google maps the app went back to "your device isn't compatible with this version" so I uninstalled the maps update and cleared the cache and data and the app remained "your device isn't compatible with this version" . The play store stayed on version 7.4.12.L.all [0] [pr] 144479971 and play services never updated from what I could tell. This and some of the software bugs are becoming a bit aggravating. Really hoping the update comes soon and fixes some of the issues.

It's a DPI issue...You have to set display view to large, then install whatever apps you want, then set back to small or medium. That should fix for you.

Well I was hoping that would fix it but it didn't. I set the display view to large, rebooted. That didn't work so I cleared the play store and play services cache and that didn't do it either. Lastly I cleared the play store and play services data and rebooted and that didn't work either.
I'm not sure what's causing it since both the play store and play services are the exact same versions on my mate 9 and axon 7.
Edit: OK this is just stupid. I put the view back to small and font back to normal (where I've had it this whole time except to try the above fix) and now the app allowed me to install it. I don't know what fixes it but at least it's working lol.

Having this same issue with Amazon Store App. Works fine on my PixelXL and Nexus 6P...but for some strange reason, I cannot install it on my Mate 9. Go figure. It's really the ONLY app I'm having this issue with. All my other play store apps installed fine, and my settings and logins work fine. But for the life of me - I cannot install the Amazon Store app, even thought I have successfully installed the Amazon Kindle app. too strange....

Have you tried changing the display size? That definitely has something to do with it and even though for me it didnt work at first it definitely solved the issue. Change it to large, reboot and try, if no go wipe the play store data and play services data and reboot and try again. Keep changing the display size after that and eventually it will work. For me I had given up and set my device back to small which is where it originally was and out of nowhere it worked.
Now if they could just resolve Hulu without having to contact customer service things would be great.
